Hello fellow SAU - V Series members!

Many of you have recently asked when our next meeting is going to happen, so I've decided to organise an unofficial Vxx Series Meet in Adelaide for local SAU members. :happy:

As you may already know, I've blogged my journey of 'Importing a car for the first time from Japan to Australia' (my V35 Skyline 350GT coupe) and now a second time (my recent V36 Skyline 350GT sedan) via www.v35skyline.com and thanks to you - my blog now has over 6100 views since inception in May 2014! This is not only awesome, but very rewarding for me to know that the knowledge and experience I have gained over the past year has (and continues to) benefit SAU members, allowing me to give something back to the community that has been so pleasant and helpful to me over the years.

For those who are interested - and want to put a face to the name (and cars) of other fellow SAU members - Let's meet up! :woot:

Location: Burnside Community Centre

Address: 401 Greenhill Road, Tusmore SA 5065

Date: Sunday, 5th July 2015

Time: 10am until 11am

Let's keep it safe, fun and friendly :cool:

was keen to get a crossover however they were pretty rare in Japan compared to sedans and coupes. which means more money.

You're not kidding. I did get one direct from Japan (to NZ) and it was probably 25% more than an equivalent sedan. That said, I love it to bits. Especially the around view monitor and radar cruise control.

I Absolutly love every piece of that car and I had two test drive from a local dealer. Was asking 28k but not my colour and no premiem package. my wife was really unhappy when I told her that we could not afford a decent quality crossover as we had tight budget. Took me a while to talk her into this sedan. :yucky:

just had a call from my agent and was told the car wont be able to make it to adelaide this week. compliance plate is taking longer than expected. sorry I wont be able to make this meet. hope quite a few ppl can show up. and I will join the next one for sure.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
